Zac Efron recently posted a photo of an essay for The Greatest Showman, the musical inspired by Barnum debuting on December 20 which reminds us of his days in the High School Musical series.

We know that the actor, Zac Efron, is promoting the new movie, “The Greatest Showman” which opens on December 20. The truth is that a few hours ago the actor shared a photo of one of his performance during the filming of this new movie and woke up Troy Bolton for the fans of “High School Musical”.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment you have waited for, we dance with all our heart. #GreatestShowman,” Efron wrote in a post on his official Instagram account, and invited us to watch the trailer. For those who do not know, “The Greatest Showman” will be a musical film that will tell the story of PT Barnum, the famous founder of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Within the film we will meet artists like Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson and Zendaya.

The story starts when Barnum loses his job and in the midst of a great economic crisis and that his company in which he works, declares bankruptcy. With the typical pressures of feeding his wife and children, the character thinks of creating a collective of artists that will become the success of entertainment. Within this group will come an illusionist Phillip Carlyle (Zac Efron) and a trapeze artist Anne (Zendaya) and a love story will be born among them. The whole film is set in the style of Moulin Rouge. The posters of Zac Efron and Zendaya in The Greatest Showman is already out.

Four months ago, the first trailer for ‘The Great Showman’ was released with the promise of being a show full of life. Now that the second trailer has been launched, it is no longer just a promise, it is a reality. The film starring Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams will be full of contemporary music that blends perfectly with the overall setting of the show. Among the cast are also recognized actors such as Zac Efron , Zendaya and Rebecca Ferguson.

The film is inspired by the life of PT Barnum , a politician, businessman and showman who is remembered for being a famous comedian and for founding the Barnum & Bailey circus.

The most interesting thing about this movie is not only the fabulous cast that it has, but also the music that is in it. The sound is almost more protagonist than Hugh Jackman himself. For that reason, it is not surprising that they have left their composition to the Oscar winners for best song Benj Pasek and Justin Paul who fell in love last year with the soundtrack of ‘ The City of Stars: La La Land ‘ .

Director Michael Gracey told Vogue that the musical style of “The Great Showman” would be a mash-up between musical theater and pop. Choreography is also a mixture of classic and contemporary. According to ScreenRant, this idea of ​​opting for modernity was, among others, Hugh Jackman who not only embodies Barnum, but also is the executive producer of the film.

In addition, the new trailer gives a couple of clues about how the sound will be, although it is a bit short to fully notice. However, the two songs used in the exposed footage ‘This is me’ and ‘The Greatest Show’ can be heard in full on YouTube.

The film will arrive in cinemas on December 25, 2017 under the direction of Michael Gracey, Australian director who will soon be in charge of filming the biopic of Sir Elton John.

With this we get an idea of ​​how vibrant and emotional this musical is going to be that pretends to make you believe that any dream is possible to fulfill in the most wonderful way. ‘El gran Showman’ will be released in theaters on December 25.

Singer posted on her Instagram a preview of the photos from the November issue of Vogue Arabia magazine. Rihanna is back in the eye of the storm after she posed as the Egyptian queen Nefertiti for the cover of the magazine Vogue Arabia, according to an advance the singer made on her Instagram account.

In the photographic report, Rihanna appears characterized as the deity that is one of her referents since not only has she shown her admiration for her repeatedly, but she even has a tattoo in her honor.

The photos of Rihanna as the Egyptian queen Nefertiti for the latest edition of the magazine Vogue Arabia has unleashed a series of opinions for and against the singer after she published this preview of the material on her Instagram account.

Rihanna has just fulfilled one of her dreams. The one from Barbados stars on the cover of the month of November Vogue Arabia embodying Nefertiti, one of the most beautiful queens of Egypt in history. The fans of the 29-year-old star are aware of the admiration felt by the singer for whom she was the wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten, whom she has even tattooed on one of her sides.

With a kind of snake gabardine, a spectacular blue makeup on her eyes and the iconic headdress of the Egyptian monarch, Rihanna looks more spectacular than ever. The result is so shocking that the publication has published two covers: one in Arabic and one in English with different images. In its edition in English, the interpreter sheds the animal print and puts on a body full of white ruffles.

In the case of Rihanna, the images have been taken by renowned photographer Greg Kadel and the headdress has been designed by Faeth Millinery. They have not been exempt from controversy since they have accused Riri of “cultural appropriation”. In addition many criticize that the publication should have thought about an Egyptian woman to represent Nefertiti.

Rihanna continues the list of other women pioneers appearing in Vogue Arabia. The first was Gigi Hadid (22) with a veiled posing who did not like anything in the Middle East. She took over her sister Bella (21) who was also criticized for being photographed by Karl Lagerfeld (84).

Characterized as the Egyptian monarch, Rihanna shines in an extensive photographic report of the aforementioned publication for both English and Arabic editions. The magazine’s editor in chief, Manuel Arnaut said:

“We are dedicating the theme to strong and dynamic women who are changing the world, Rihanna, our cover star, is one of them. Not only is she one of the most successful pop icons of all time, but she is shaping the entertainment industry with her powerful melodies and unique style sense, as well as being an advocate of diversity.

The words of the editor of Vogue, however, have not been well received by the followers of the magazine who through social networks have expressed their discomfort.

“Ok, I’m sorry but Rihanna is not an Egyptian girl, you’re a queen, yes, but take off that crown,” “To appear in Vogue Arabia, you do not need to be Muslim or Arab,” “Ignoring the many cultural problems, she does not It looks like nothing to the powerful Nefertiti.”

These is one of the comments that can be read on Twitter with the hashtag #RihannaXVogueArabia.

It should be noted that this is not the first time that a cover for Vogue Arabia causes controversy. Last March, the American model Gigi Hadid posed with a veil that was not liked in the Middle East and was the cause of the resignation of the editor Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz.

The musical diva has not wanted to make any kind of statement about it, but she has proudly shown the result of the report in her social networks. Egyptian or not, what is clear is that Rihanna is a queen.
